A Daily Devotional About when you get knocked down: Hebrews 10:36 You need to persevere so
that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.
37 For in just a very little while, "He who is coming will come and will
not delay. 38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I
will not be pleased with him." 39 But we are not of those who shrink back
and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved. (NIV) When the circumstances of life knock us down,
we are, for a time, disoriented. When we are knocked down, we are numb and what
is normal no longer exists. When we are knocked down, we lose our bearings. When you are knocked down, scramble to get
back up. Get back up as quickly as possible, for the longer you are down, the
longer you may stay down. If you stay down you may begin to feel sorry for
yourself. Then, self-pity grows and getting back up become even more difficult.
To get back up, call upon the Master's hand. God does not like a
quitter. Two thousand years of Christian history exists because many Christians
refused to quit. Two thousand years of Christian history are written in the
blood of martyrs who refused to stay down. Get up, get going, keep going, never
quit and never relent. Praise God in every circumstance because in every
circumstance God is present. |
